Seattleites diss local restaurants in LivingSocial survey

A survey released Thursday from daily-deal site LivingSocial reports Seattleites ranked their city third from the bottom when it comes to restaurants. Of cities surveyed, only Sacramento and Detroit (dead last) thought more poorly of their dining-out options.

The cities with the most foodie pride: New York, Chicago and San Francisco. (Surprised? Not so much.)

Despite Seattle’s shockingly low opinion of local eateries, the survey revealed a few more tidbits about what’s on Seattle’s plate.

A few more LivingSocial-specific details about how Seattle eats: The most popular food-related coupon sold through the site was for Pegasus Pizza in April, with 3,480 vouchers sold. Next, it was a Paragon voucher in July of last year with 2,961 buyers.

Nationally, Italian proved the most popular type of restaurant. Thai was the first choice for “new cuisine” and 18 percent of people describe themselves as “health nuts.”

More Los Angeles residents describe themselves as “fast food junkies” than any other city, and Washington D.C. has the highest percentage of vegetarians.
